When a human spirit humbly accepts God’s righteous condemnation of sin by awaking to its depravity then contrition will lead one to God’s plan of redemption by Christ Jesus.(December 26, 2017 at 3:54 am)snowtracks Wrote: Remember, *Redemption is available to all.

Snowtracks, I see no credible evidence for your god and have no belief in it. As such, it's absurd to consider it a player in one's alleged "eternal destiny."
Based on what I know and believe about life, the universe and everything, I am strongly of the opinion that my current self terminates forever at the moment of physical death, with no aspect of my personality surviving. My destiny, as I see it, is simply for the atoms of my body to be recycled into various other things that may or may not possess sentience. I have no need of your mythology, and the chances of me accepting this alleged "redemption" are effectively zero.
What many don’t realize is that God doesn’t possess unlimited power (albeit, immense) since his nature won’t allow sin —- God can’t sin, can’t accept sin, and most importantly can’t overlook sin. When people agree with God on the sin question and accept his remedy, then they are declared righteous for eternity; otherwise, they declare that sin is alright by God which blasphemy, the eternal sin which is not forgivable.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
